R. J. MacLean, secretary of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce said this today, adding that the governors and commercial organization of Ore gon, Washington, Idaho and Montana and boards of trade in British Colum bia, Alberta and Saskatchewan for warded several hundred letters and telegrams, seconding Spokane's Invita tion., The western states were also supported by the southern delegation, the result being that Spokane won over 10 cities in the eastern and cen tral states.- . v' .'.'t - "Next year's convention gives pro mise of being the most largely attend ed in the history of the association," says J.'L. Mitchell In a telegram from Milwaukee to the Spokane organiza tion, "and a visit by 250 representa tive men from practically every state In the union and officials from Cana da and their families means much to the entire Pacific slope and the Intar mountain country and I think that every community will benefit In one way and the other." Washington, Aug. 30. Despite the recent pasage of a law making "spy ing on the United military reserva tions" a criminal offense with heavy punishment in time of peace, it Is still easy to obtain Information about the defenses of the- United States, in ths opinion of officers of the .general staff of the army at the war department Though visitors are not permitbad to take cameras Into fortified 'places maintained by the United States, the Uncle Sam's Greatest Fighting ; Craft, the Wyoming, Launched 1 t ' rrlsoni-r Shared His Food.

Los Angeles, Aug. 31. A "bona fide" meal Is at last defined. In adopting a resolution to the effect that liquor can only be served In restaurants with a meal the police commission declared that a "bona fide" meal shall cost at least 15 cents and that bread, mea, fish, cheese or beans be served in sufficient quantities . to Indicate , that no subterfuge is attempted. i I t 11 rant a hnn and let ni demonstrate tbe ase ot Terry Pnen- If ' .ii. .i..t..umitaTH. w h flint (n.alliil one at "County if Toot Farm".

Knight had smashed a bottle of veauipoKaa againsi me aieei prow inai u aeeunea to plow the water of th world. , The launching was In every way successful. Hundred of la. tela of tallow had been spread upon the ways., and wheu the props wera knocked from under the vessel she glided calmly down into the waves, her momentum carrying ber across the river, from which tugs brought ber back to Cramps' shipyard for the finishing touches to be done to her. This work will take at least a yenr, and then the Wyoming will become the moat pow erful vessel In the United States navy and the eiinsl of anything the world can boast The Wyoming will carry twelve twelve-Inch lruna as her main battery, with a secondary battery of twenty-one five-Inch rapid Are guns and ten ma chine guns, 'There will also be two submerged torpedo tubes. The vessel Is 664 feet long on the load line, her length over all being 582 feet. . Her breadth Is a trifle over ninety-three feet, her mean draft U twenty-eight feet sU inches and her contract speed U twenty and a half knots! Her side armor will be ten Inches thick, with a thicknesa of twelve inches on exposed points. The pictures show the Wyoming leaving the ways. MI Rnlght, the sponsor, and Governor Joseph M. Carey of Wyoming, with hi alster on bis right and L's wife on his left, between him and Miss Knbjht. O-Hcers declare It is an easy matter for any man, familiar with coast de fenses, to visit a fort and without tak- j ing a written note,' to gather enough material in half an hour ' to enable him "to chart completely the position ' of the guns, their number, size, rang and effectiveness. There is no way of making this impossible without seal ing up all the forts which is, of course, obviously impossible. Despite this, however, there have been many Instances or deliberate at tempts at spying which seem to jus tify . the passage r the recent law. Examples occurred in New York where a man arrested for a mluor offense was found to have a trunk filled with military, maps and Information which convinced army officers he was in the pay of a foreign government. Less than a year ago, an enlisted man in the Philippines, who was used as i the official ' photographer for - the army in the islands, was offered $25, OOO for a set of photographs of the defenses of Corregtdor island. The defenses at this place are the most modern and the most elaborate of any ever constructed by this country, and special precautions have been taken to keep the details secret. The en listed man pretended to accept the offer, and thus led the would-be pur chasers of American military secrets into a trap. They were caught, but by habeas corpus proceedings, as the incident occurid before the new law was enacted, were able to escape. ' A wai;er n Seattle, not long igp, was found to be a foreign officer in disguise, , while an American ambas sador in a foreign country notified the state department a few months ago that a certain captain of a foreign army had been detailed to spend three years in the United States, making secret studies of our defenses. ; Th most startling Instance was wten ' an Englishman picked up a small package on the streets pf Cal cutta, and discovered that it contain ed blueprints showing every detail of the fortifications at Coregldor. No clue was ever found to the identity of the man who had lost them, and the war department is still in complete Ignor ance as to how the prints were obtain ed. : N '"'V:' V' STOCKADE ABOUT SHOPS VIOLATE ORDINANCES. vij vrui-rs Hires ttemovea From the . - Ftfnf Hafn tnt1flV ur Harrlman aval-am nnllnlca n -- u av..v.vu v(.
